Paper craft project no. 127: Wishing you well

This card is for J, the cancer patient I’ve been card angeling since September last year. Earlier this week, I heard from the folks that run the card angeling organization that J is “graduating” from the program because she is trying to return to normal life after her recent scan showed good results. And so this particular card angel assignment is done and how could I not be happy for J? I will miss sending cards and writing letters to her every week although I know I can send her cards from time to time or for special occasions. So I made this card with lovely thoughts and well wishes for her.

To create this card, I made a square card base (4.5″ by 4.5″) from watercolor paper. On a smaller panel (4.25″ by 4.25″), I stamped flowers and leaves (from STAMPlorations) in neon purple and green hills dye inks (Hero Arts) before mounting it on the card base with foam dots. Then I cut a diagonal panel from scrap watercolor paper, stamped faux stitches around it in tuxedo black dye ink (Memento/Tsukineko), and stamped the sentiment in deep purple archival ink (Ranger). I mounted the diagonal panel onto my card with foam dots and finished the card by affixing 3 small purple gems (K & Company). (Wow, look at me…I’ve been bling-ing my cards lately!)

Love the bold flowers in those bright cheery colours! So happy for your friend who is graduating – very best wishes to her! She is very lucky to have you as a card angel – what a great program! Thanks so much for joining us at CASology this week!
